SLIP AND FALLS


The term “slip and fall” refers to an incident where a person slips, trips, or falls on another person’s property due to hazardous conditions, resulting in injury. These hazardous conditions can include wet floors, uneven surfaces, inadequate lighting, or obstacles in walkways. Below are a few instances where we’ll likely represent you in your claim for damages:

  • A customer slips and falls in a supermarket aisle due to a spill that wasn't promptly cleaned or marked with warning signs.

  • A visitor to a shopping mall trips over a crack in the pavement while walking through the parking lot.

  • A diner slips on a recently mopped floor in a restaurant restroom that lacked caution signs.

  • A hotel guest trips over a misplaced rug in the poorly lit lobby area, resulting in a fall.

  • A pedestrian slips on an icy sidewalk outside a business establishment that neglected to salt or clear the walkway.

  • A construction worker slips on a patch of oil spilled on the scaffolding platform by another subcontractor.

  • An employee trips and falls on a broken step while descending a staircase in their office building.

  • A hotel guest slips on a wet tile surface surrounding the pool area that was not adequately dried or marked with caution signs.

Preserving Your Slip And Fall Claim


If you become injured during a slip and fall, at no fault of your own, please do the following:

  1. Get help. Call 911 and wait for emergency services to arrive.

  2. Take pictures of the area. If possible, take photographs of the dangerous condition that led to your injury. The more photographs, the better. If you’re too injured to take pictures, ask a friend, family member, or witness to take some for you.

  3. Gather witness information. Write down the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the other people who were present when the accident occurred.

  4. Seek medical help. Ensure that you visit a doctor and obey their treatment suggestions.

  5. Document everything. In addition to saving all bills, letters of correspondence, and reports surrounding your accident, write down what you remember as soon as possible while the memory is still fresh to ensure important details aren't lost.
